Copy Paste From V6

I thought it would be very unlikely, but seeing that it is the weekend and you will need to wait till Monday for reply from Tech, I tried to do this with a simple object from V7 to V8 as it was a very quick experiment to perform. It did not work either. So it looks like you need to save a copy of your v6 file, open it in v8 and copy the items you select from there? Both files can be alternately accessible from the Window menu in V8 so you should be able to perform your task that way. IMHO I would be surprised if Autodessys would think this probably rare request worthy of a script.

Hi Robert,

 

formZ applications utilize their own internal clipboards, and at least currently there is not an option to paste from one to another. Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to select the desired objects, Save A Copy As, choosing Picked Objects Only, then Open that file in the desired version using the Add to Project option.

For the reverse trip V8 --> V6 "Picked Objects Only" is greyed out In the Save A Copy As dialog.  Could code be written for this option to function?  I do it manually now by saving as V8, then reopening that file and then saving it out as V6 but this must be able to be automated right?
